A note on sources:
The Planning and
Research, Residential Life, and Facilities websites occasionally exhibit conflicting
numbers for built dates, square footage, and other data. Where discrepancies were present,
preference was granted first to information from Planning and Research
websites. When Residential Life
and Facilities information, alone, conflicted, preference was given to
information from Facilities websites.
